On the Border Models Facebook page - an upcoming new release

1/35 Leopard II A7V

On the Arma Hobby Facebook page, a new Hurricane variant


On the ICM website - ' in process '

1/48 RAF personnel in Tropical uniform - no idea what the guy second from the left is doing!

On the Copper State Models Facebook page, test build of their German WWI Wanderer motorbike



Will be available in 1/32 & 1/35 - I reckon that CSM must be leading the field in this delicate resin printing!!

What's that weird looking contraption flying behind that Leopard?

What's that weird looking contraption flying behind that Leopard?

It's an armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (aka UAV/drone) but I cannot tell which model.

Thanks guys. Having looked at pictures of the real thing I agree, but I don't think the artist got his angles right with that tail unit.

Nice kit Dave, but Das Werk already beat them to the punch, I'm afraid...

Das Werk’s version is a reboxed Dragon kit. No idea how good that is, but both are bound to be better than the old Tamiya one

If anyone is going near an Aldi - they are doing some Airfix starter sets for £6.99 from today.....................

The gun is good but the figures are not as portrayed ...

Most of those civilian figures are strangely specific, IMHO. IMHO, these would have been better with some alternative parts for a child in the pram, proper suitcases for the man to carry, etc. Also a less Soviet-style cap for the man, or a common hat as an alternative, would make them much more usable for all around Europe in the late 1930s/early–mid 40s.

Jakko,
It's almost like these figures have been sculpted from a specific street photograph - I agree that they should have alternative parts, like headgear, bags etc
